The Wall Street Journal was the first to break the news that the Pentagon is actively considering this. The WSJ first reported:
The U.S. military has selected roughly 2,000 troops to prepare for a potential deployment to support Israel, U.S. defense officials said. The troops are tasked with missions like advising and medical support, the officials said, and they are from across the U.S. armed services.
They aren’t intended to serve in a combat role, the officials said. No infantry have been put on prepare-to-deploy order.
The WSJ wrote, adding that most of the selected troops are already stationed in the Middle East or in Europe.
Not long after the news broke, Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh for Pentagon was asked this during a presser, for which she said she did not have any concrete information to provide at the time. “So on the Wall Street Journal reporting, I don’t have more to provide at this time. I might be able to give you more details later, but at this time, I just don’t have anything more specific to add to,” she said.
However, just this morning Singh to formally issue a statement that did confirm that the DoD is actively considering this. She said in a press release:
Today, Secretary Austin placed approximately 2,000 personnel and a range of units on a heightened state of readiness through a prepare to deploy order, which increases DoD’s ability to respond quickly to the evolving security environment in the Middle East. No decisions have been made to deploy any forces at this time. The Secretary will continue to assess our force posture and remain in close contact with allies and partners.
Additionally, he approved a deployment extension for the Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group in the U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa/Sixth Fleet Area of Operations. The strike group was nearing the end of its six-month deployment to the U.S. European Command area of responsibility.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Another day, another dollar earned for the war pigs on parade making money at our expense, as the blood continues to stain the sands of the earth.
We knew this was going to happen, and we know already that this is just the beginning of more “foreign aid” heading to Israel.
A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.
Ecclesiastes 10:19
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
